She saved me!Tubsock, an albino ferret was brought in at 6:30 am in the middle of winter. this is how she was found. " a man was driving down the road and as he stops for a stop light the driver in front of him did not go when it turned green but instead throws a white fluffy ball out the window into the snow at about 1:00AM of a chicago winter storm. the guy runs outside as fast as he can and finds a sickly little albino girl and grabs her just before she slips into a storm drain. the next morning she was brought to the GCFA at 6:30 am in critacle condition. immediatly being put onto soupies. after a while she was adopted out and was gone for about a month. when we started working there she was not there. about a week or two after volunteering she came back to the shelter due to "biting". we thought it was destiny as her story was the pull factor for making us volunteer. we took her home. now she lives with us and won the COTD!!!!

How are you doing? I know it's been a very long time since I've blogged properly to everyone. In that time we rescued another grey squirrel. Her name was Hazelnut and she lived for almost a year.

She was doing so well despite being a little nuts from falling out of her nest and even though we were able to release her into the wild of our property she depended on us for her food, water, and shelter.

Unfortunately, our new puppy managed to catch her and so ended the life of Hazel.

On a happier note, just this month we found a 5 week old California Ground Squirrel. Her name is Nugget and she has her very own profile and would love a visit from you.

She's a real sweetheart, very smart, very cute, and very friendly. We are currently feeding her milk formula and a huge variety of greens, veggies, and rat pellets.

We will be keeping her as a pet and have already purchased a nice 2 story ferret cage for her which she absolutely loves.

I'll be uploading some video of her soon. She's just too cute for words. I'm not planning on writing many more blogs but will let Nugget take over the writing. She always has a lot to say! I remember being like that!

I hope life is going well for you. Leaving a vote and my best for a wonderful summer.

Hey, how are you doing? Haven't heard from you in such a long time. Are you staying dry? I sure hope so! It's so very wet over here and we have flooding in our valley. Poor Eddie, the BIG horse, has to use Pippin's pen because his is a lake now. Actually, he seems to like Pippin's pen better anyway.

Mama wants me to run for critter of the month since on New Year's it will be a year since I passed over to this side. I guess she thinks it's a nice way to honour me and the wonderful impact I had on their lives.

A couple of days ago I asked some of Melian's friends to help me because they know me too and consider me a part of their extended family. But, of course, it's friends like you who are cute and fuzzy like me, that mean the most to me.

Will you help me win cotm? Someone told me that you might disagree with me running. They told me that those who have been on this channel a long time don't like anyone running for cotm. Is that true? Mama has been on this channel since it first started and had no idea about this. If it's a problem then we won't do it. We don't want to lose our friends over this honour.

Let me know either way, will you? Leaving a vote of friendship. And I hope you're staying warm and dry!

How are you doing, pretty girl? I heard you're all fat and fluffy. That's how I like to be too! I managed to sneak some time on the computer to blog my friends. You wouldn't believe how busy we can get up here! I've been working on making the weather really nice and warm for mama. I've given her a few nice spring days. Really I had to do something because I made a big mistake!

A couple of weeks ago I wasn't paying attention and someone made it snow! Yep, a huge snowstorm and here they thought they were going to get away with a snow free winter!

Anyway, to make up for my oversight I gave her a few spring days. However that was hard work so now I'm resting and enjoying all the treats that are up here for me to munch on. And yep, you guessed it, it's raining and snowing again. I see the wind is already bringing in a storm but I'm just too tired and perhaps a tad lazy to do anything about it.

How is the weather there? Anyone sending you nice warm days? I hope so!

So, any chance that you'll get your "sister" Oliva to live with you? Sounds like your mama is enchanted.

Here's a vote for you and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Spring is just around the corner. Which does hint of a touch of sadness since mama was looking forward to meeting my babies this spring. Ah, it was not to be. And I'm glad you're still mad at that bad driver on my behalf. It helps! Thank you!

How are you doing? Mama's head is doing better. Thanks for asking. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I know that I did. See, it pays to a have a large stash from hoarding all summer! So, I had lots for which to be thankful. I'm thankful for mama rescuing me and I'm grateful to have so many great online friends! And not least of all, I'm thankful that I stole so many apples from mama's tree! Mm, they are pretty tasty round about now!

Did you have a nice Thanksgiving too? Is it cold there? Brrr, it's really cold here but no snow. Pippin and I both have nice thick fur so the cold doesn't bother us. Good thing too because it's down in the teens at night.

I hope you're getting a little less sad about losing your two brothers so close together. I know it can't be easy for your mama! Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

I hope you're having a great weekend and here's a vote for you. Eat lots and stay fat so you get lots of extra hugs from mama!

Yes, I am a squirrel! How are you doing? I had to stop by your page this time to see who was Tubesock! What a name!

Mama is happy because she rode Prince this afternoon. He's the horse that sent her to the ER last month. He behaved really well and they even did one small jump. Something must have been bugging him last month. We are thinking perhaps allergies but who knows?

I'm doing great, picking all the apples. Mama doesn't think I'm going to leave her any. Not if I can help it. She's right! Also the acorns are ripening everywhere so I've been busy burying my stash. Perfect for pirate day, huh?

Well, I hope that you and your family are doing fine. Here's a vote for you.
